Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a buffering sheath, and more particularly to an airtight sheath for packing and protecting bottles from being damaged by external impact.
  • a traditional wrapping material is generally provided with a soft inner pad, such as foam, on a peripheral side thereof for protecting articles to be wrapped so as to prevent the articles from being damaged or broken by external vibration.
  • the soft inner pad is required to be attached to the wrapping material with additional processes to avoid moving or coming off from the wrapping material, but the additional processes of attaching the soft inner pad are not only cumbersome but also costly to assembly.
  • an air inflatable structure is designed to resist impact, with air columns filled with air, and is capable of protecting articles from being vibrated. Due to the great utility, the inflatable air packing materials are to replace traditional wrapping materials by degrees, especially in the field of packing high-tech products, for example, such as mobile phones or display panels. Recently, air packing materials are also utilized to wrap fragile articles made of glass or porcelain, such as wine bottles, in a way that a bottle is surrounded by several air packing pads in a container. Specifically, a bottle is placed on an air packing pad and enveloped by separate air packing pads . Though the bottle can be protected by the air packing pads, the bottle is not well positioned because the air packing pads are separately placed.
  • an objective of the present invention is to provide an airtight sheath for packing a bottle which is capable of being buffered against external impact.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to provide an airtight sheath capable of protecting a neck portion of a bottle.
  • the airtight sheath is made of at least two outer films and comprises a first buffering unit comprising a plurality of first air columns, and two distal heat-sealing sides being heat-sealed to terminate two opposite sides of the first buffering unit; a second buffering unit comprising a plurality of second air columns, two opposite sides of the second buffering unit being heat-sealed with the two distal heat-sealing sides of the first buffering unit; a bottom unit comprising a plurality of bottom air columns connected with ends of the plurality of first air columns and second air columns, the bottom unit and the first and second buffering units cooperatively forming a packing space for packing the bottle therein; and a cover extending from one end of the first buffering unit opposite to the bottom unit and disposed in the packing space, the cover comprising two connecting air columns and at least a lid air column located between the two connecting air columns, each of the connecting air columns and the lid air column respectively having a top portion and a
  • the first buffering unit is provided with multiple bending nodes formed on at least several of the first air columns corresponding in position to the shielding portions of the cover, and the bending nodes are arranged in parallel and in alignment with each other and heat-sealed to allow the first air columns to be bendable with respect to the bending nodes.
  • the cover further comprises two protection units, which are heat-sealed to the connecting air columns in such a way that the connecting air columns and the lid air column are located between the two protection units, each of the protection units comprises a plurality of divided air columns and protection air columns extending in the packing space, the divided air columns extend and bend from the first air columns, each of the divided air columns has a width smaller than that of each of the first air columns, and an interval heat-sealing line is provided between and along either two of the divided air columns for facilitating bending of the divided air columns.
  • the bottom air columns of the bottom unit integrally extend and bend from the first air columns and the second air columns, and two recessed sealing lines respectively formed at and bending inwardly from opposite end port ions of the bottom unit and connecting the distal heat-sealing sides of the first buffering unit so as to form two recessed portions between the bottom unit and the first and second buffering units.
  • the airtight sheath of the present invention is to utilize air inflation structure to buffer the bottle therein against external impact from either bottom, up, or side directions, and the bottle is securely packed in the packing space as well as the neck portion enveloped by the cover. As a result, the airtight sheath efficiently provides multidimensional protection for the bottle 5 during package and delivery from being damaged by external impact.
  • An airtight sheath of the present invention is capable of being quickly inflated with air to function as an impact resistant structure, where an inner space of the airtight sheath is capable of packing a bottle so as to provide impact resistance for the bottle, which is, for example, a wine bottle, but is not limited thereby.

  • the two recessed sealing lines 32 connect the distal heat-sealing sides 12 of the first buffering unit 1 so as to form two recessed portions 30 between the bottom unit 3 and the first and second buffering units 1 and 3 .
  • the recessed portions 30 ensure that the bottom air columns 31 are not extending out of the bottom unit 3 and therefore the airtight sheath 100 is capable of being stably placed.
  • the cover 4 extends from one end of the first buffering unit 1 opposite to the bottom unit 3 and is disposed in the packing space 10.
  • the cover 4 comprises two connecting air columns 41 and a lid air column 42 located between the connecting air columns 41 in such a way that two opposite sides of the lid air column 42 are respectively heat-sealed to the connecting air columns 41.
  • Each of the connecting air columns 41 and the lid air column 42 respectively has a top portion 43 and a shielding portion 44 bending from the top portion 43 and extending downward to the packing space 10.
  • the shielding portion 44 has a length larger than that of the top portion 43, but smaller than that of the first air column 11.

  • the gaps 120 on two opposite sides of the airtight sheath 100 are configured to allow the first buffering unit 1 or the second buffering unit 2 to be bendable with respect to the gaps 120, so that the bottle 5 is capable of being easily put in or take out of the packing space 10.
  • the second air columns 21 extend upward to a height corresponding to the cover 4 for providing side protection for the neck portion 51.
  • the first buffering unit 1 is further provided with multiple bending nodes 13 formed on the three of the first air columns 11 in a position lower than the shielding portions 44 of the cover 4.
